Jimny Soft Top

<< < (4/4)

I'd get the roof and the body presstuds replaced either under warranty or by a trim shop specialising in soft tops, then lightly grease both the body and hood presstuds. I also have a hardtop for the winter which helps a lot.
Its a sad fact but soft tops only really last 2 years or so if you take them off quite often, my old samurai had a new Bestop soft top and after a year that was showing signs of wear and was much better quality than the suzuki original.

How olds your jimny?

its 5 months old, but the problems started after only 2 weeks. sadly it has really put me off, i paid £10,599 for it, my inheritence after losing my mum, which makes it worse.

jimny gary:
my problems started about the same time. I'd go see a local trim shop and see if they can fit some better quality presstuds. Ive waited near a year for a proper roof and had to drive round for 5 months with a horrible shiny PVC roof that they ordered by mistake. Monsoon do a decent roof, about £400 but you may not have the same problems as long as the presstuds on the body are changed at the same time (theyre on 3 strips bolted onto the body). Get some grease on any new presstuds to stop them rusting though.
